Happy New Year Engine Work

Here are some pictures of the engine work I have been doing over the holidays

Hoisting the partially disassembled engine out of the bilge.  It is rustier than we expected!  It looks like salt water has gotten in to the transmission and caused a lot of internal rusting.  The engine turns over but there is a lot of carbon build up in the cylinders.

Here is the engine sitting on the floorboards.  You can see the bilge that I pulled it out of just to the right.  I used some straps and a come along to hoist it up out and swing it over to the floorboards.

Dirty bilge grease hands.

Meggie and I folding folding sails in the backyard at Plymouth. There are lots of oldish sails that we will have to sort through carefully, repair and clean.
